We only keep your data for as long as it is strictly necessary to fulfil the obligations associated with the performance of a contract, as well as to fulfil the Site's legal obligations and its legitimate interests.
Some of the retention periods for personal data depend on your "active" status. A User is defined as "active" from the moment they interact with our Site or Newsletter. Here are the respective retention periods for the different categories of data we collect:
At the end of these periods, your data will be deleted.
If necessary, to protect your rights and interests and ours, data may be archived and kept for a period exceeding these time limits, but never exceeding the periods of obligation and legal prescription provided for by the law in force.
The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) adopted on 14 April 2016, guarantees Users several rights described below. We ensure all of the said rights of our Users on the Site.
You may exercise the rights set out below by contacting us either directly on the Site, or by post at the address given in the Legal Notice, or by using this email address: aide@demarque.com
We reserve the right to refuse certain requests if there is a legitimate reason for doing so. For example, we will refuse a request to delete data if this data is used to defend legal rights, or if an applicable law requires the retention of certain data for a given period.
Our Users have the right to be informed about how their data is collected, processed, shared and stored. They also have the right to know all of their rights. This information must be made available in a clear, transparent and concise manner.
Our Users have the right to object to the collection and use of their personal data. They have the right to ask not to receive any more messages by email, or to ask for the deletion of some or all of their data collected on the Site.
Our Users have the right to access all their personal data collected on the Site and to consult it in an understandable format. However, we will not disclose such data until we have verified the identity of the person requesting access.
Our Users have the right to rectify inaccurate personal data and to complete incomplete data belonging to them on the Site.
Our Users have the right to request the removal of one or more results provided by a search engine following a request made using their identity. For example, they may ask to be removed from a search engine if their name appears in an article or post on the Site, and they do not wish this information to be found on the said search engine.
This deletion does not lead to the deletion of the information on the Site: the original content remains unchanged and is still accessible, either by using other search criteria or by going directly to the Site from which it was published.
The right to dereference is exercised directly with the aforementioned search engine.
Our Users have the right to request that their personal data be deleted from our Site when it is no longer essential to the processing for which we collected it, or simply because they wish to withdraw their consent.

If this is the case, we will inform the User who made the request and ensure that the data is deleted once this period has elapsed.
Our Users have the right to request to recover personal data collected on our Site belonging to them for personal use or to provide it to a third party. The personal data requested will be provided in a simple, concise and machine-readable format.
Our Users have the right to be informed about the use of their personal data for commercial and marketing profiling purposes. They have the right to know that an automated decision has been taken against them, to know the logic behind this decision, to contest this decision and to request the intervention of a human being to re-examine the decision.
Our Users have the right to request a temporary freeze on the use and processing of their data, without requesting the complete deletion of their data. For example, they may request that we do not process their personal data while a procedure to verify or rectify their data is underway.
The protection and security of our Users' data is our priority. We put in place technical and organisational measures to ensure the maximum protection of your data that we can guarantee. However, these measures are not infallible, and we cannot guarantee the security of data that you send via networks outside our control.
We urge you to be equally vigilant in protecting your personal data. Make sure that access to your account and the rest of your data is protected by a strong, complex and unique password, and not to share it.
We may amend this policy to keep it as clear and concise as possible and to adapt it to new applicable laws on the protection of personal data. If we modify this policy, you will be informed so that you can take note of the changes made.
If you consider that we are not processing your personal data in accordance with this policy or that we are contravening the law in force in relation to the collection, processing and protection of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) https://www.cnil.fr
